Puppies, Please
Solo entry for the Ludum Dare 55 Game Jam, ldjam.com
Friday, April 12 - Monday, April 15, 2024
Controls: Mouse
Game Jam Theme: Summoning
Demon-summoning was a common take on this jam's theme, so I decided to make a game about summoning puppies instead. How is a puppy summoned? Adoption.
In this miniature, Papers, Please-inspired mechanical prototype, you get to experience first hand the difficulties facing A-OK #1 Animal Shelter. Match a animal (or don't!) with a prospective client, and hope that your diligence is enough to keep the shelter's doors open.
Features three potential outcomes depending on your choices.

Hi, I didn't understand how to match. I clicked on everything and dragged and dropped but nothing happened. It is a cute concept so I would like to play it. Also maybe add link to your page on Ludum Dare website, cause right now the link you gave opens just Ludum Dare all games page
Thanks for playing! The video trailer shows what to do. Other people have had trouble, too, so I'll think about ways to make gameplay clearer. I can't find a Ludum Dare link that isn't working - the ones in the Links section take me to the right place.
So cute! I love the contrast of the muted tones with the adorable selection of puppies! Excited to see more adopters and puppy combos.
Thank you! This was a prototype for a game jam, but I think it is a cute idea too. I'd love to add more content if I have time.
